PLAY-BASED LEARNING
Our daily centers contain ever-changing themes and materials. Children may create an artistic masterpiece, explore interesting manipulatives and sensory objects, and enjoy a snack with their friends.
Fine motor skills grow with practice in cutting, coloring, pasting, and beading...as much as each child chooses to do.
Language skills develop through age-appropriate activities that incorporate comparing and contrasting, sequencing, retelling a story, and demonstrating understanding of basic concepts.
Math and science concepts are incorporated into fun activities. Used in many local school districts, the Zoo Phonics program prepares children for learning to read and write.
CO-OP vs INDEPENDENT
Cherry Lane is a Cooperative preschool. Co-op parents help in the classroom once a month, doing things like setting up snack, cleaning up activities, and most importantly, interacting with the kiddos.
We understand that this doesn't always work out for families (although the helper doesn't necessarily need to be a parent; we love help from grandparents and other relatives too!) so we have the option for our families to be Independent for a slightly higher cost.
